Pumpkin Seed Butter

A twist from the usual nut butter, this seed version is very strong nutritionally and a brilliant dip for crudités. It makes for a great alternative lunch box snack, particularly for those schools that are nut free.

PREP TIME: 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 500g pumpkin seeds
  • ½ cup olive oil

Method

  1. Place the pumpkin seeds in a food processer and blend for a few minutes until a fine powder. To avoid overheating the seeds you may need to stop midway through.
  2. Add olive oil and blend for a further few minutes until both seeds and oil are well combined.
  3. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge or in a cool place.
